Free ECD App for any early learning centre in South Africa
Finally! A one-stop-shop for ECD Centres.
The app for centre owners and principals helps you manage your entire preschool from just one device. It’s easy to use and it’s free (no jokes). We designed this app for our 45 GROW educare centres across the country and when many other preschools asked if they could use it too, we decided to make it available at no cost. It’s our gift to you.

I am enjoying the business of running a preschool again. This app – it’s like a computer in my hand. I am saving time, I am learning how to be more independent and in control of my business, and I am getting more time to work with my teachers and the children.
ECD TEACHERS can use this free app too
